Frontend developer. I build web apps and, lately, iOS apps.
By day, national platforms at Cineca. The rest of the time, the projects below: a padel app, a village sports festival, orders for a bar.
In development · TestFlight soon
An iPhone app for friends who play padel together: you log doubles matches set by set, an opponent confirms the result, and the group gets a ranking nobody argues with. I’m making it on my own, from the idea to the backend.
Sample data. You’re on the losing pair: until you confirm, the ranking doesn’t move.

Nobody can fiddle with the score
The app never writes a match on its own: every result goes through a server function that checks the rules, and each group only sees its own data.
The ranking is computed, not stored
It’s rebuilt from the confirmed matches every time you open it, so it can never fall out of step with the results.
Motion that stays out of the way
A few animations, the same ones across the whole app. If Reduce Motion is on, the app respects it, and haptics only fire when you tap.
Two more projects that started from a real need, built on my own from the interface to the database.
In production · 2 editions run on it
The platform behind a village sports festival I co-organize: a management app for staff and cashiers, and the public site where players sign up and book the pitch. During the festival, I’m one of its users.

Deployed · venue rollout pending
Orders for small bars, in three steps: a stock log, then phone orders with a bar screen that updates live, then the same product adapted to a second venue.

I’m Nicola. I live in Caserta, in southern Italy, and I’ve been writing frontend for five years.
By day I build the frontend of national platforms for Italian universities at Cineca: Angular, TypeScript, and a lot of care for performance and tests.
After hours I like building whole things, from the idea down to the database. Lately that has meant mobile: a Flutter certification in 2024, and now Rallymate, my first iOS app in SwiftUI.
I use coding agents every day. They make me faster, but what ships I read and decide myself.
Five years of frontend in production: automotive software at Spindox first, national university platforms at Cineca today.
